Cheap Motels - Southern Culture On The Skids

Well out on the bypass

Not too far

There’s a joint that’s a jumpin'

When they close up the bars

Well if walls could talk

Man, the stories they’d tell

Holding up the roof on a cheap motel

Holding up the roof on a cheap motel

You can rent 'em all night

But they’re cheaper by the hour

The towels are clean

But they still smell sour

The night clerk’s smiling

'Cause he’s usually stoned

But you can do out there

What you can’t do at home

There’s a cigarette burn

On the table by the bed

And a king james bible

That’s never been read

If walls could talk

Man, the stories they’d tell

Holding up the walls on a cheap motel

Holding up the walls on a cheap motel

They got a cinder block wall

So you can’t be seen

Walking out naked

By the ice machine

Keep it hush-hush

Cause you never can tell

Who you’ll see walking

'Round a cheap motel

There’s a cigarette burn

On the table by the bed

And a king james bible

That’s never been read

If walls could talk

Man, the stories they’d tell

Holding up the roof on a cheap motel

Holding up the roof on a cheap motel

Hey!

Just holdin' up the roof

Just a-holdin' up the roof on a cheap motel
